So How Much Time DOES A Trump-Guy Get For Tax Fraud and Bank Fraud?

From The Washington Post:
Paul Manafort, who once served as President Trump’s campaign chairman, was sentenced to nearly four years in prison Thursday for cheating on his taxes and bank fraud — a far lesser sentence than the roughly 20 years he had faced under federal sentencing guidelines.

U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III called that guidelines calculation “excessive” and sentenced the longtime lobbyist instead to 47 months in prison.
For the arithmetically challenged, that's just under 4 years.

Meanwhile:
Two minutes later Soledad O'Brien clarified:
Yea.

    Paul Manafort is an innocent man and an American hero who did nothing wrong, he should be freed immediately.

    "An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
